Shadowburn (2)

~It's hard to tell in the dark, if you've lost your soul or lost your heart.~

"She didn't appear to believe him--but she hadn't pulled away, her legs still around his waist, her arms still around his neck.
Thorn kissed her again, long and deep, before drawing back to look into her eyes again. "I want you, little nymph," he said again. "I want to touch you and I want to kiss you and I want to taste your skin." He lowered his voice, tilting his head though he didn't break his gaze from hers. "I want to feel you--" he dipped his head closer to hers, so she'd be unable to see anything but his eyes, and his voice was a sensual caress. "I want to hear you scream, and I want to be inside you, Caelei."
Her chest heaved like she was having trouble breathing, and Thorn grinned. "But, if you don't want me..." he trailed off, starting to pull away a little.
Her grip tightened around him, and Thorn took that as all the agreement he needed. He fell back into her, ignoring the protests and screams of his battered body, and buried his tongue in her mouth even as his hand danced across her body, removing the barriers between them.
She didn't protest, and he didn't stop--even though his body tried to kill him for it."

Family, friends, emotions, humanity.
Accompanying Andreas on a quest for vengeance long due, Sin is in danger of losing something she never knew she had: her heart.
The only question is if she'll survive long enough to learn what that truly means...
